In February 2020, EA announced that Criterion Games will be working on the next Need for Speed game. However, it appears that the publisher has decided to delay this game so that Criterion can assist DICE with the development of the next Battlefield game.
Now while Criterion will be helping DICE, there will be another racing game from EA this year. This new racer will be coming from Codemasters, who EA recently acquired.
Regarding the next Battlefield, Laura Miele, EA’s chief officer, claimed that it’s shaping up to be great.
As Miele told Polygon:
“[Battlefield] is shaping up great, the team has been working incredibly hard, they pushed hard last year, and yes, we have been working from home. And it’s hard; it’s hard to make games from home, and the [EA DICE] team is fatigued a bit.
We have a great game and some incredible potential with this game. We’re playing to win; we’re playing to put a great Battlefield game out in the market.”
Lastly, here is some really early WIP from the new Need for Speed game.

John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

It’s funny how this negative community always finds the BAD in everything.
Don’t know about you but post Cyberpunk launch I’m cynical about every AAA games.
yes yes cyberpunk was the one who did it, its not like before it 70% of AAA games this gen were released in a unfinished mess of a state.
Well that was the last nail in the coffin for me and probably most of us. Wish it will will bring change in gaming community regarding manufactured hype and marketing but chances are slim.
Shut your A$$ up and go copy paste more articles about Epic Vs steam. Cause that is all you are good at you SCUM
Well it is definitely a GOOD thing that this game has been delayed.
Underground 3. Not interested in anything else.
It won’t be the same style and music as 1 & 2 15 years ago.
if only you could enjoy the game during night time without the cops pummeling you 24/7
Good.
Burnout 2 remaster please.
Also cancel Battlefield then close EA.
Haha, then that leaves Fifa out there on its on.

I wouldnt even say they do that cause people had to BEG for ME remastered and i wish people would ask for remakes, cause remasters are often garbage
* “Remaster” old ones

I instantly searched the article, for the word “indefinitely”. Unfortunately, it was nowhere to be found.
Oh NOOO!!!

CodeMasters probably taking over, get ready for 10 year old game engine racing

Oh no, anyway
Hopefully indefinitely.
I wish we’d gotten a true next gen version of Porsche Unleashed, that game was great.
let’s hope after a loooong delay it gets canceled for good,away with this trash
Makes sense, they should live the racing genre in the hands of
Codemasters.
